Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 171

“You can’t reach him either?” Old Mrs. Blackwell asked.

Daniel had been with Adrian for a long time, serving as his sole confidant during those years abroad. He was the one who handled most of Adrian’s affairs.

When Adrian was unreachable, Daniel was the conduit.

It was almost unheard of for Daniel himself to be unreachable.

“If I could reach him, I wouldn’t be here, Ma’am.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell’s clouded eyes sharpened. “You can’t get in touch with his security detail either?”

To protect Selena, especially under these circumstances, it was impossible for him to be without bodyguards.

“Mr. Blackwell isn’t using his own men. He’s on a friend’s private jet, so the security is likely provided by that friend.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell was familiar with Adrian’s friends, but when the Walsh and Langley families had called to inquire about the news concerning the Blackwell Group, they hadn’t sounded like they knew anything.

“Have you contacted Leon Langley or Henry Walsh?”

Daniel hesitated, but Old Mrs. Blackwell wasn’t in a rush. “You don’t have to say if you don’t want to.”

She continued, “The Blackwell Group was given to Adrian; it has nothing to do with me. I don’t care if my few shares make money or not. I’ve got one foot in the grave already; I could be gone tomorrow for all I know.”

“Don’t say that, Ma’am.” Daniel gritted his teeth and finally gave her a name and a place.

Mrs. Blackwell shot to her feet. “You’re lying!”

The Blackwell family could not have any connection to a place so chaotic.

Daniel simply looked at her.

This family still needed Old Mrs. Blackwell to make decisions and maintain stability.

This was not what Old Mrs. Blackwell had expected. She asked, “During those years abroad, was he collaborating and in contact with them?”

“No collaboration,” Daniel said. “They were just friends.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell didn’t believe it. People who operated in the Gray Zone didn’t make genuine friends.

There had to be interests involved.

If it wasn’t for Adrian’s interests, then it must have been for Selena’s.

“How deeply is Adrian involved?”

Old Mrs. Blackwell gave a cold laugh. “Is he doing this for the Blackwell Group or for Selena?”

It had to be for Selena.

Daniel bowed slightly. “Ma’am, I have to get to the office to handle things.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell didn’t stop him.

After he left, Mrs. Blackwell said cheerfully, “That’s our Adrian. He found a solution so quickly.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell shook her head but said nothing.

Since her husband’s passing, she had single-handedly supported the vast Blackwell family and raised the younger generation.

She was very tired.

Adrian was born at the pinnacle of power.

With his personality and temper, he was incapable of listening to others.

He would only handle things the way he wanted to.
